Abstract:
It takes skills in three different areas to manage a company-wide policy and procedures project. First,
people must be organized and motivated to participate.
Executive support is critical here. And the persons
actually performing the tasks must be the ones to
document it. Second, the project must be clearly
defined and tracked. The document creation and
review process must be structured simply, to take full
advantage of the documentation team’s limited time.
Finally, the information published must be accurate and
controlled. Work processes should be analyzed before
the procedures are documented, and published
procedures must be distributed to specified manual
holders.
